Troubleshooting
Fleece losing its softness or insulation
Ensure you are washing with cold water and avoiding fabric softeners. Tumble drying on low heat can help restore fluffiness; avoid high heat.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Gently work the zipper up and down. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a bit of lip balm to the zipper teeth and try again. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track.
Garment appears to shrink after washing
Always follow the care instructions carefully. Use cold water for washing and opt for air drying or a very low tumble dry setting to minimize shrinkage.
